x86: extended "flags" to show virtualization HW feature in /proc/cpuinfo

2008-09-10T12:00:56+00:00

The hardware virtualization technology evolves very fast. But currently
it's hard to tell if your CPU support a certain kind of HW technology
without digging into the source code.

The patch add a new catagory in "flags" under /proc/cpuinfo. Now "flags"
can indicate the (important) HW virtulization features the CPU supported
as well.

Current implementation just cover Intel VMX side.

x86: remove cpu_vendor_dev

2008-09-04T19:09:45+00:00

1. add c_x86_vendor into cpu_dev
2. change cpu_devs to static
3. check c_x86_vendor before put that cpu_dev into array
4. remove alignment for 64bit
5. order the sequence in cpu_devs according to link sequence...
   so could put intel at first, then amd...

x86: use cpuid vector 0xb when available for detecting cpu topology

2008-08-23T15:47:10+00:00

cpuid leaf 0xb provides extended topology enumeration. This interface provides
the 32-bit x2APIC id of the logical processor and it also provides a new
mechanism to detect SMT and core siblings (which provides increased
addressability).

x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place

2008-08-18T14:05:47+00:00

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions
(cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg
and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific
file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when
they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the
compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled.

This patch moves these functions to a new
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cmpxchg.c file, unconditionally compiled when
X86_32 is enabled.
